SRS in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: SRS returned +8.1% where its own daily promise gave +4.6%, 3.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times IYR's −3.0% implies +6.0%, which makes SRS look 2.1 points over. 1.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SRS aims to return -2 times IYR's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more. IYR moved at 14% annualized over that window. That is what decides how far the two figures separate: the same fund on a calm underlying and a violent one is a different product.
URE in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: URE returned −8.6% where its own daily promise gave −6.4%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times IYR's −3.0% implies −6.0%, which makes URE look 2.6 points short. 0.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. URE aims to return +2 times IYR's move each day, then resets. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, SRS or URE?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SRS finished 2.1 points from what its multiple implies and URE finished 2.6 points from its own, so SRS came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SRS and URE levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ISHARES U.S. REAL ESTATE ETF, SRS at -2 times and URE at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SRS or URE?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SRS’s moved at 14% annualized and URE’s at 14%, so SRS has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SRS or URE for a year?
- Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way.
- Which is cheaper, SRS or URE?
- SRS charges 0.95% a year and URE charges 0.95%, so SRS is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
